Elijah’s “rapture” was a strong fore type of the rapture of the church at the end of its commission (after which is scheduled the tribulation or “The Day of the Lord”). As we can see, Elijah’s ministry has “long legs”, What else about Elijah is important?

Appearing as one of the three in the transfiguration:  

MT 17:1 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

MT 17:4 Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters--one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."

Join this lesson to learn more about Elijah and his assignment by God as a general type of the prophets, in conjunction with Moses, and his function as the general type of the law.  We'll take a closer look at these two men as teamed together by God to represent the Old Testament, also called "the law and the prophets".
